no, we didnt get a chance to line up again. We were heading into town so that was the last open stretch of road. If we lined up and left at the same time it would be no contest. The BOV is a 50mm Tial.

There was a red light up ahead and i didnt want to aproach an intersection at that speed. He flew by me and you can hear my car spool up right as he passes me. The car had just laid down 680rwhp with 595 rwtq in Vegas.

I understand where your coming from but this wasnt a drag pass. I would expect it to break if I launched it off the anti lag and just dropped the clutch. This happened rolling on it and rowing through a couple gears. I was shocked that it happened the way it did. I wouldnt have been as suprised...

Yep, thats the guy. Definitely a class act and knows his shit. I do the fabrication on our cars and he is the mechanic/ engine builder. He's been building fast toyotas longer than most so I have faith in his work. We will tear down the trans in the next week or two and post up picks of the...

Wish I would have done the same:biglaugh:

I agree. People give toyota techs alot of flak due to a few bad experiences people have. I trust my friend as he is a great mechanic and very meticulous when it comes to this stuff and it doesnt hurt that he is a supra enthusiast who does alot of work for people in the community.

Exactly! Nobody wanted the r154 to survive more than me. We took every precaution to make sure it would have a fighting chance but when it was all said and done it simply cant handle that level of power. It was a good trans up to that point. That was the best shifting tightest trans Ive had yet...

I love when people keep trying to blame the rebuild. I have a long list of brand new parts that were replaced including all of 3rd gear. Marlin wouldnt have built a better trans than what I had. Its funny that you will nit pick what I said to argue with me. I made it clear that it broke under...

Exactly. I didnt build my car for cruise night or shows. I built it to beat the piss out of it. I already went to dinner, relaxed and started figuring the next plan of attack. It will likely be a 400 or a glide but i want to get some opinions from some of you guys running them. Vegas will be...

To clear up the details on how it exactly broke. I did not launch the car in first. I rolled on it in second, shifted into third where it broke under power not while shifting. The trans was fine through the vegas weekend but we were on street tire doing freeway pulls and it was spinning the...

Listen hear toolbag. The trans is weak and cant handle shit for power period. Im sure it would do just fine powder puff shifting through the daisy fields with 230hp but for a car making serious power! It sucks. It broke while under power, NOT WHILE SHIFTING!

I probably will just go auto. Im just pissed that it broke on the street and not on the track. I havent even had a chance to make a pass yet.

Trans was rebuilt just prior to Vegas so it only had a few hundred miles on it. All new bearings, synchros, seals, shift forks, sliders and the marlin crawler bits. It was built by my friend who is a toyota master mechanic and was the tightest best shifting trans Ive had yet. The boost was about...

:3d_frown: I just took my car out to give my girlfriend a ride down the street and as soon as I hit third there was a bang! Gear box soup! This was on a freshly rebuilt trans complete with the marlin crawler billet plate. They simply cant handle the power. Time to go 6 speed or Th400 I guess...

Just get your car down here next year and ill make sure to get mine back out. I did have alot of fun beating up on a few MK4s that happened to stumble upon me on the freeway.

I just got back home and as frustrating of a weekend as it was for me the event was alot of fun once again. We battled hard to get out there on time and had leterally got the car running the night before and were tuning until 1 am. I am glad that they were able to squeeze me in at the end of the...

Well we got done tuning the car on the dyno last night and it runs perfect except for the fact it is majorly down on power. Only made 580rwhp on 34 pounds of boost! We messed with it till 1 am trying to figure out why the car is down over 100rwhp at any given boos level! Im leaving shortly and...

Well, Exedy came throug and my clutch plate arrived this morning so I will be thrashing all night getting the car put together and then off to the dyno tomorrow for tuning.

Thanks for the offer but I just got off the phone with Exedy and they have the plate I need in stock and are overnighting it to me. Looks like I will be hitting the dyno on wendsday and leaving straight from the dyno to Vegas!
